NEURODIVERGENT ADULTS
Support That Respects How Your Brain and Nervous System Work
You should not have to mask, perform, or force yourself into someone else’s idea of what support should look like.
Whole Heart Brainspotting offers individualized, trauma-informed support for autistic adults, adults with ADHD, and people exploring or identifying with neurodivergence. Sessions make room for your sensory needs, communication preferences, processing style, strengths, challenges, and lived experience.
We begin with what helps you feel understood, comfortable, and able to participate as yourself.
Whole Heart Brainspotting does not provide autism or ADHD assessment, diagnosis, medical treatment, or crisis services.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BECOME LESS OF YOURSELF TO RECEIVE MEANINGFUL SUPPORT.
Neurodivergence can shape how you experience your body, emotions, relationships, responsibilities, and the world around you. Support should recognize both the challenges you face and the strengths you bring.
THERE IS ROOM FOR THE FULL PICTURE
Exploring the cost of hiding, minimizing, or constantly adjusting who you are to meet other people’s expectations.
MASKING & EXHAUSTION
Understanding how sound, light, movement, touch, environments, and accumulated stress may affect your capacity and well-being.
SENSORY NEEDS & OVERWHELM
Making room for difficulties with starting, organizing, prioritizing, transitioning, or completing tasks—without treating them as personal failures.
EXECUTIVE FUNCTION & DAILY DEMANDS
Developing greater awareness of emotional and nervous-system responses while identifying ways to support yourself during intense moments.
EMOTIONAL INTENSITY & REGULATION
Exploring needs, boundaries, misunderstandings, connection, and ways of communicating that feel more authentic and sustainable.
RELATIONSHIPS & COMMUNICATION
Recognizing your insight, creativity, focus, sensitivity, resilience, and other strengths while building confidence in your own way of knowing.
IDENTITY, STRENGTHS & SELF-TRUST
YOU ARE NOT A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED.
SUPPORT THAT ADAPTS TO YOU
You Do Not Have to Fit the Session. The Session Can Fit You
There is no single correct way to communicate, process, focus, or feel comfortable. We can discuss what helps, what makes participation more difficult, and what adjustments may allow you to engage more fully as yourself.
You are welcome to ask questions, request changes, take time to respond, move your body, look away, or say that something is not working for you.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO TELL ME WHAT HELPS YOU FEEL SUPPORTED.
You may speak freely, use fewer words, pause, write things down, or take additional time to organize your thoughts.
COMMUNICATION CHOICES
We can discuss lighting, sound, seating, movement, headphones, and other environmental factors that may affect your comfort.
SENSORY PREFERENCES
You will not be rushed to answer, identify an emotion, make eye contact, or move forward before you feel ready.
PROCESSING PACE
I will explain what we are doing, invite questions, and check in along the way. You can pause, adjust, or decline any part of the process.
PREDICTABILITY & CONSENT
TOOLS CHOSEN WITH YOU
Support Is Not About Making You Less Neurodivergent.
The goal is not to remove the traits that make you who you are. Together, we can explore tools that support regulation, self-understanding, resilience, and your ability to navigate life in ways that feel more sustainable.
A focused, brain-body approach that can create space to explore difficult experiences, emotional responses, internal blocks, and personal strengths at your own pace.
